Thanks Bill. You're right. I should burn those highlights down a bit. I already spent quite a bit of time on this. The section below her left heel is actually pasted in from another exposure. I framed a bit too close on this one, and her foot was touching the edge of the frame. I agree about softness in a shot like this. I'm considering adding a touch of gaussian blur to make it a more ethereal softness. Paul On Jul 24, 2008, at 11:25 PM, William Robb wrote:
